Answer:

The price of a cold drink is 10 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion.

[tex] \frac{5 \: ice \: creams}{125 \: dollars} = \frac{1 \: ice \: cream}{x} \\ \\ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{125}{5} \\ \\ x = 25[/tex]

So we found out that one ice-cream costs $25.00.

The statement said, "An ice cream costs 15 more than a cold drink"

In other words, A cold drink costs 15 dollars less than an ice cream.

So we would subtract.

[tex]25 - 15 = 10[/tex]

So a cold drink costs $10.00.
10.00 dollars is the answer
